Abstract

Specific microorganisms in extreme reservoirs with total dissolved solids of 195.7 to 585.8 g/l in Southern Russia were studied. Halophilic community of phototrophic and heterotrophic microorganisms was found. In the laboratory, an experiment was carried out to study the degradation ability of microorganisms in relation to organic content of waste water fishing enterprises - brines and bitterns (salt solutions). After introducing the heterotrophic and phototrophic bacteria community in sewage, the organic matters declined from 18.3 to 86.0%, respectively. Dedicated phototrophic communities are communities where edificator or formative components (builders) are cyanobacteria of Phormidium, and together with cyanobacteria and other microorganisms, they comprise bacteria and fungi. Among the satellites cyano-bacterial communities of Lake Mramornoe bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas, Micrococcus, Bacillus, Streptococcus, archaea birth Halococcus, Haloferax, Halobacterium; micromycetes genera Aspergillus, Acremonium are found.

Key words: Cyanobacteria, halophilic phototrophic and heterotrophic microorganisms, salt solutions, highly mineralized water ecosystems.
